The main task of the Coroner's office is to determine both the medical and legal causes for deaths in Darlington County especially if the death occurred suddenly, suspiciously or for no apparent reason. The Coroner is a County official who is elected to serve a four-year term.

If you need to report a death, call 9-1-1 immediately and answer all questions the 9-1-1 telecommunicator asks. 9-1-1 will then contact the coroner on-call to respond to the reported death.
